Eubank Jr v GGG figthing in autumn

[erics44]

he took on Saunders very early


he had fought absolutely no one at the time and had only been a handful of rounds in 15ish fights


to risk his unbeaten record against Saunders who is clearly a very good fighter and something which was clear at the time, that takes some balls

Eubank had a wrongly placed self inflated view of his own ability and did not fight an experienced fight against BJS. Junior would probably end up losing to Golovkin for the very same reason. Junior has not fought at a world class stage against a world class fighter and won.

that's all probably very true


but my post was in reaction to people saying his is bullshitting


I'm saying that I think he is serious, I think that he actually thinks he can win and for the reasons you suggest

I think so too.

I would still like to see him take that opportunity to face Jacobs, not that I think Jacobs is great but Eubank has no fear of these last few opponents and isnt as focussed during the fight as he should be. He took the piss in that Doran fight. He could have wiped the floor with him in round one had he been deadly serious. Thats what I wanted to see. I think he troubles Golovkin but he needs someone who can pressure him with some power first even though I suppose in a way OSullivan and Blackwell could do that to a degree, they arent the best at not getting hit.

Like Master said it could be Saunders over again. Just needed that bit more experience but pushes him to a close decision.

I would still back him if he was to fight Golovkin next but if I was managing him id want that Jacobs fight first.

I want eubanks carear to be long and entertaining with the belief he is at the top level


the GGG fight is a massive risk, he could well get blasted out in a round


and that would take the edge of what ever he does from then on


so yes, id rather see him fight Jacobs too

[GAME]

Hope I'm wrong but I think this Golovkin talk could be bluffing from eubank snr. Jnr could have fought Jacobs but fought Blackwell. He could've rematched saunders but chose Doran so why would he fight Golovkin next. Limieux is a more realistic fight for him

If it does happen, props to eubank for going after the avoided man. Canelos ducking of the same guy was inexcusable. Possibly the worst duck in history.
Pac and Floyd was bad but they had excuses over drug testing principles etc. Canelo just blatantly ducked Golovkin to fight Liam smith and that's shameful.

So if eubank steps up he gets full credit.

How exactly is anyone going to take away GGGs power? He gets great leverage on nearly every punch. He moves his feet beautifully, he picks his punches beautifully. There was a reason I wanted to see Ward/GGG so badly, nobody else at 160/168 is nearly as good as GGG.(somebody might rise up but right now he stands alone)
